Pharma manufacturer scaling operations across Southeast Asia
Unilab is the Philippines' leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, operating a 1,000+ person workforce with active expansion into product development and regional markets. The hiring mix—skewed toward product, marketing, and sales roles with accelerating velocity—reveals a company shifting from operations-focused to growth-led; pain points around actionable insights and division-wide optimization suggest they're wrestling with data visibility as they scale manufacturing and market penetration across Asia.
